Journal Guide

Building Services Engineering Research & Technology is one of the foremost, international peer reviewed journals that publishes the highest quality original research relevant to today’s Built Environment.Published in conjunction with CIBSE, this impressive journal reports on the latest research, providing you with an invaluable guide to recent developments in the field.BSER&T covers the full range of energy and environmental services in buildings, including:HeatingVentilationAir conditioningBuildingElectrical servicesBuilding acousticsWater supply and sanitationVertical transportOutstanding features of BSER&T:All articles are peer reviewedInternational Advisory Board ensures the highest standards of qualityArticles on ground breaking researchRedesigned formatContains critical book reviews of the latest literature in the fieldDiscussion forum, enabling comment and interaction with leading expertsBased on high quality articles Building Services Engineering Research & Technology ensures the very latest information is presented throughout each issue.BSER&T Article makes the final two in the Carbon Trust Innovation AwardsSAGE would like to congratulate article author, Robert Lowe MA, PhD, on reaching the finals of the prestigious Carbon Trust Innovation Awards.His article, "Evidence for heat losses via party wall cavities in masonryconstruction" presents empirical evidence and analysis that supports the existence of a significant heat loss mechanism resulting from air movement through cavities in party walls in masonry construction.The overall message being that if you don't regularly measure building performance in some detail, you may have no idea what might be going on.To access this article for free, please .

Building Simulation: An International Journal publishes original, high quality, peer-reviewed research papers and review articles dealing with modeling and simulation of buildings including their systems. The goal is to promote the field of building science and technology to such a level that modeling will eventually be used in every aspect of building construction as a routine instead of an exception. Of particular interest are papers that reflect recent developments and applications of modeling tools and their impact on advances of building science and technology. Paper submission is solicited for the following five fixed sections: A: Building thermal, lighting, and acoustics modeling B: Building systems and components C: Indoor/outdoor airflow and air quality D: Architecture and human behavior E: Advances in modeling and simulation tools The above scope will develop as the field of building simulation evolves. Authors are encouraged to contribute papers from different angles of interest, making Building

Building and Environment is an international journal that publishes original research papers and review articles related to building science and human interaction with the built environment.The Journal invites research articles conveying robust, tested knowledge on:•technologies and integrated systems for high performance buildings and cities•thermal, acoustic, visual, air quality building science and human impacts•tools for the design and decision-making community, including tested computational, economic, educational and policy tools.•solutions for mitigating environmental impacts and achieving low carbon, sustainable built environments.The Journal is focused on new knowledge, rigorously verified with measurement and analysis, related to the environmental performance of buildings in different scales, ranging from cities, communities, buildings, to building systems and assemblies.

Catalysts (ISSN 2073-4344) is an international open access journal of catalysts and catalyzed reactions. Catalysts publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.

Buildings & Cities is an international, open access, peer-reviewed academic journal publishing high-quality research and analysis on the interplay between the different scales of the built environment: buildings, blocks, neighbourhoods, cities, building stocks and infrastructures. The journal focuses on built environment policy, practices and outcomes and the range of human development, economic, environmental, political, social and technological issues occurring over the full life cycle in urban, suburban and rural contexts. It provides a platform for insights that can help improve the built environment.
Buildings & Cities aims to make research accessible and relevant to academics, policymakers, practitioners, clients, and occupants.

BEPAM is a CIB-recognised journal that provides a niche forum to address interfaces between project management and asset management of building and civil engineering infrastructure.
